    Description: IRAS data have been used to examine the vicinity of nearly 100 dense clumps of molecular gas observed in lines of CO and NH3. More than one-third of these molecular cloud 'cores' contain infrared sources that appear to be newly formed, or forming, low mass stars. While about one-third of the infrared sources are associated with visible stars and have properties that resemble T Tauri stars, the remainder of the infrared sources have no optical counterparts and are probably embedded within the molecular cloud itself. These invisible sources lie close to the molecular cloud peaks and have cold, massive shells of material around them. Some of the cores without infrared sources have gas properties similar to those with embedded sources and so may be on the verge of gravitational collapse. The selection of the IRAS sample and its properties are described. The spectral energy distributions of the sources and their nature are discussed along with their physical properties, the properties of cores with and without infrared sources, and the time scale for the evolution of the sources.

    Description: A 6-solar luminosity dust-embedded precursor of a low-mass (about 1 solar mass) pre-main-sequence star has been discovered with IRAS near the northeast lobe of the bipolar outflow region in the dust cloud L1551 and designated L1551 NE. Star formation is proceeding in at least two locations in L1551, reminiscent of the situation in regions of more massive star formation. If the position of NE in the flow from IRS 5 is indicative of the flow having initiated star formation in NE, then the object can be only about 24,000 years old. Alternatively, NE could appear by chance to lie in the flow from IRS 5. In the globule ES 0210-6A, a 12 solar luminosity dust-embedded precursor of a low-mass (about 1 solar mass) pre-main-sequence star is found which drives the bipolar flow responsible for the string of Herbig-Haro objects HH 46-47 A-D. In this globule, there is only one region of active star formation.

    Description: Observations of the dark cloud Barnard 5 show two compact sources of radiation within the dense core. IRS 1 is associated with 30-800 K dust, has a total luminosity of about 10 solar luminosities, and is presumably a newly formed star of roughly solar mass. IRS 2 has a much cooler color temperature, approximately 25 K, and emits only 1.3 solar luminosities. Its status is unclear, but IRS 2 may be at a very early stage of gravitational collapse or a density enhancement within the cloud heated by the interstellar radiation field. Also within the confines of the cloud are two point sources, which, if associated with the cloud, each emit about 0.5 solar luminosities in the IRAS bands. These may be T Tauri stars, separated from the cloud but still enshrouded in dust shells.

    Description: Observations from 12 to 100 microns are presented of two radio-quiet and three radio-loud quasars. Over this wavelength range, all five have grossly similar continuum energy distributions. The continua of the radio-loud quasars are consistent with synchrotron radiation. There is an indication, however, of excess 100 micron emission in the two radio-quiet quasars.

    Description: Very sensitive IRAS observations of a region of 0.8 sq deg in the Chamaeleon I cloud have revealed 70 compact sources. Hot sources are field stars; warm sources are associated with pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars in the cloud center; others may be in an even earlier phase of gravitational collapse. Cool sources, detected only at the long wavelengths, surround the main cloud and appear to be associated with small globules. Only a small fraction (less than 20 percent) of the total luminosity of the known PMS objects is emitted in the IRAS bands. This has important implications for the classification of the newly discovered embedded objects.

    Description: Maps of M31 have been obtained at wavelengths of 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns. Emission is detected from the center and from a ring of 50 arcmin radius. The ring is that also seen in H I, in H II, and in radio continuum radiation. The spectrum of the central emission suggests a hotter dust temperature than in the ring. M31 is a weak infrared source, the radiation measured longward of 12 microns being only 3 percent of its total luminosity. The two closest companion galaxies, M32 and NGC 205, have also been detected.
